retract servo travel limit
I am using 2 hitec 75 heavy duty retract servos on a WM giant mustang. I have never used mech retracts before hence this question. It seems that the travel on the servos is too much for my application. I also know that retracts servos are not proportional and they are only like levers, either on or off. Is there any way I can reduce the end point throws on these servos. I use a 9CAP radio and end point menu doesnt do the job. I am sure there is an easy solution that I cannot think of. Please advice.

RE: retract servo travel limit
The common adjustment here is to drill a new hole in your servo arm, closer to the center of the shaft. Link to it, and your total travel will decrease.
Good luck,

RE: retract servo travel limit
Alternatively, you can swap the electronics with a standard servo. I have done this successfully several times.
